This is a great opportunity to pick up a complete set of the popular 1968 Topps Baseball issue in a nice collectible grade, mostly Very Good to Ex-Mt, with quite a few Near-Mint cards and with some below but the emphasis probably to Excellent. It’s particularly noteworthy to find this issue in presentable grades since the quirky “burlap” borders from 1968 make this one of the true condition-sensitive offerings of the era. The Ryan Rookie card, the sole slabbed card found here in a PSA 2 holder, headlines the issue; the Bench Rookie card was deemed “Miscut.” In addition to the complete set, there about 80 or so duplicates, often touching on some key Hall of Famers and major stars or specials, with some of the noteworthy extras included in the listing below, The breakdown of keys and condition anomalies: No. 1 League Leader – Good, 20 Brooks Robinson – Excellent-Plus, 45 Seaver – Near-Mint o/c, 50 Mays – Ex o/c, 58 Matthews – Ex, 80 Carew – VG-Ex, 100 Gibson – Ex-Mt, 110 Aaron – Ex-Plus, 130 Perez (2), 150 Clemente – VG-Ex, 152 World Series Yastrzemski HR (3), 250 Yastrzemski – Ex, 280 Mantle 0 Good, 220 Killebrew – Very Good, 230 Rose – VG (Miscut), 240 Kaline – VG, 290 McCovey (2), 330 Maris – Ex-Mt, 335 Banks – VG, 370 Aaron All-Star – Ex-Mt-Plus, 374 Clemente All-Star – Good, 480 Carlton – Nr-Mt o/c, 480 Manager’s Dream – Ex-Plus, 490 Superstars – Fair, 500 Frank Robinson – Good, 520 Brock – Nr-Mt m/c and 573 Palmer – Ex-Mt o/c.
